Try our fresh guacamole, centre cut aged Canadian AAA striploins or our famous Jack's Chicken Fingers, made with fresh never frozen seasoned chicken tenders, hand breaded to order. We also sling an impressive selection of craft brews and cocktails. So let your hair down, loosen your belt and come hangout!
Came here with my coworkers for a fun little holiday work dinner and Josh made it an amazing experience and more. He is so fun and hilarious and the service was amazing!! Always checking in on us and cracking jokes, we love you Josh! - Jinnat, Julie, Taylor and co.
Hands down this is our favourite goto place in neighborhood when we feel like "lets get fancy and funky at the same time". They make such good steak for a good price in a bustling location. With $100 bucks before tax+tip for a couple we get steaks and drinks to fill us up. This location next to bloor-yonge station is huge and not so crowded. But the last time it was packed and also their beer tap was broken. Still our server Maj made sure we get the best out of the evening and we had a wonderful meal with their holiday season special meal. The sauce on top of the steak had some shrimps. But it was hard to find any bits of crabmeat and lobster as the menu suggested. For a $45 meal, this is something they need to improve. Otherwise, food quality was excellent as usual.
Great service from Farah as always! She reminded my friend about the beer specials and the service was quick but not intrusive which I love. Also, I forgot how great the Jack’s nachos are. I highly recommend this location and I will be back.
One of the best jack locations, with great food and amazing service. Nat was absolutely spectacular, she gave her advise on what we might like and the most popular dishes and drink. She truly went above and beyond the norm to ensure the evening was good for the birthday party and the birthday girl.
We ordered the following on Ubereats: - Chicken fingers (yum!) - Fresh baked garlic pan bread (this was just okay. Not really great obviously delivery or when warmed up. Becomes quite dry. Not a fan) - Garlic cajun salmon (delicious!)
I went here with friends for lunch. The location was just a step away from bloor and yonge station. I’ve been craving for steak for long time and I didn’t have any idea that this restaurant which was near to my work place, served one. I picked “The Memphis” medium rare with iced mango mint. It was delicious and I was very satisfied with the serving. The restaurant was perfectly designed. Definitely, it’s a great place for dine in with friends. If you wanna chill out after work before going home or just wanna treat yourself, I will recommend this lovely place. The staff were friendly and approachable too. Shout out to Justine ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️
This was a really spacious location by Bloor-Yonge. Came on a weekday ~8pm and was able to get a table and food within 20m. Had the chicken breast & goat cheese wrap this visit, which was surprisingly good despite the low calorie count (definitely recommended)! Overall a pretty great visit!
Excellent food quality however the service was ok. Not so great. The music was too loud and the greeter given us no option at all for booth sitting.
always go to jacks for the chicken fingers, here they were so crispy and juicy with honey garlic slaps every time. recently visited with a group of friends and the service from Tina was amazing she was so helpful and accommodating to everyone s needs. overall a very pleasant experience. Dietary restrictions: good GF options for those who need, helpful staff who recommended what to get.
Good food and good service, Tina suggested i have the Tortellini, and it was great.
Anthony was a great server! Very attentive and kind. He answered all our questions about the menu in detail and make our evening very memorable!
Anthony had wonderful service! Very attentive and knowledgeable about the menu!!
Awesome service from Tina!! My friends and I had a great time, and there was friendly atmosphere and good food. A staple in the neighborhood. Great staff!
Tina basically saved my life. I have an extreme allergic reaction to gluten, so Tina helped me sort through Jack Astor s GF items. After my food came, I asked for a double-check just to make sure the food was safe. Tina was so helpful and immediately checked with the kitchen and my food was safe, quick, and delicious! Thank u so much for advocating for me, Tina! You re a rarity in food service, but your compassion is so appreciated!! :)
i ve been travelling from australia and decided to visit jacks to get a feel for canadian dining and had the lovely pleasure of meeting tina as our server. not only was her service stellar, she was accommodating and super quick to help one of my friends who suffers from gluten intolerance. overall, an incredible night made incredible by tina! would 100% visit again to see her shining face.
anthony was absolutely incredible! such a fun vibe and so kind! couldn t have asked for better service!
Anthony was an incredible server at Jack Astors. We went as a group, and he was accommodating and super fun. A great experience that was made better by his presence. Will be coming back! Vegetarian options: The best salads.
Anthony was a sick dude 10/10
I came for lunch with my friends. The holy smoke burger is awesome and the staff is super friendly. Melanie and Justine are the best!!
Tina is a great server!
The waiter just got the tip himself he charged me $13 dollars of tip he didn t deserve it though
Loved the LIIT fishbowl
Maj was amazing truly such a great server!
Food was not the best but Place was wonderfully decorated for the holidays! Maj was very friendly and gave excellent service :))
Thank you to the wonderful staff, Maj and Josh, for your service this evening. We hosted an event at this location and these two staff were exceptional during their interactions with us. They were accommodating and had the highest level of professionalism. The food was amazing and the overall ambience (music, service) enable us to have a wonderful evening. Thank you; we will definitely recommend this location.
I usually like Jack Astors for the amazing wings , but this time I really regreted being there .The restaurants was very cold and the service was awful.We were a group,so the tip was included ,so they were very slow and keep forgetting part of the order
Great food, and our server Joshua was amazing.
JOSH! What a fantastic server you are!! But seriously, my friends and I had such a lovely holiday dinner, and Josh s kindness and impeccable service made our experience TOP TIER! Thanks again!! :D
Went here twice during our Eras trip to the city & both times were excellent. Great food that came out super quick. Atmosphere was so precious with all the Christmas decor. The servers were great too our first time in, they were so sweet and chatted with us about the concert that was later that night & even gave out friendship bracelets. After the concert, we went back for a late night snack and accidentally broke one of their water glasses (sorry!) but they just laughed it off and were overall so kind and welcoming. Wish there was a Jack Astors in our hometown back in AB!
Andy and Farrah were awesome! Great drunks & friendly staff.
Andy and Farah were great serving us before our concert. Super friendly and made our night! Thanks again!
Anthony was an amazing waiter very happy with the service
Our waiter Anthony was one of the best waiter, he accommodate all 6 of us and kept us entertained and well serviced. We loved our timeee
Kale salad should have had more pecans and cranberries
I love this Jack Astors location. Is close the subway and very nice. The food is always great! Justine was a sweetheart and very nice and polite. I recommend this location for anyone going around Yorkville.

Very lovely holiday vibes here! Our server Anthony was super kind and personable!

I always love Jack Astors! Went to this location last week and it was amazing. Andy was a fabulous server. The restaurant was also so beautifully decorated for Christmas.
Great experience (per usual) at the Yonge & Bloor location (2 Bloor Street East). This is a solid spot where you can always depend on the food being great. And Justine is an amazing server - super attentive and knew the menu well.
Love the garlic pan bread, nachos and beer which goes great with the big game. A big thanks to Justine for the good service and being a friendly familiar face.

Me and my friends had a great time, our server Christina was awesome and super accommodating. Always great to get amazing service, even when the food is meh!
Visiting Toronto for a conference, stopped here for some dinner. Our server Christina was very welcoming and attentive. Would come back on another visit.
Visited about a month ago and i was pretty satisfied with everything overall. The food is what you would expect and left us content, but what made our night was the service. Christina was an excellent server all night and took great care to attend to our every need. Would highly recommend going if youre looking for somewhere to ensure a memorable date night!
Had lunch here yesterday. Christina was my server and she was great, especially at making sure my allergies were taken care of. Would come back here again next time I m in Toronto.
Was a great place to grab dinner when visiting Toronto! Food was great, and our server Christina was very helpful and accommodating!

Yummy food, great service and atmosphere!
Was here just touring around Toronto with my girlfriend last month when we got hungry. Stopped in and the food was great but despite being tired from walking around all day the service was very polite, timely, and uplifting. The food was just what we needed after a long day. Big ups again to Christina for helping us quickly! The bar was raised for when I come back to Toronto
Stopped in for a few drinks and nibbles before an event at Toronto Reference Library. Andy was our server and bartender who was absolutely famoulous. She made our long island ice tea to perfection! Food was delicious and fresh. Served quickly. Many thanks Andy Colleen Loved your line...two Johns and a Colleen
I have eaten at this Jack Astor s location in downtown Toronto quite a few times. I usually have an order of chicken fingers with different sauces each time, an excellent option on the menu. The bowls are also interesting and delicious. Service is a plus here, as servers are friendly, attentive, and eager to help. They help create a positive and relaxed atmosphere. A nice place overall!
Anthony was awesome!! We were a group of 8 and he did a great job also helped in our menu choices. Thanks so much
Not realizing with 8 people we needed a group booking we showed up without a reservation. The restaurant seated us anyway and we had Anthony as a server, he was so upbeat and friendly, and the food was great.
Anthony was amazing. Only server that cares about you at this location
Food was good and our server Christina was amazing!! She was very friendly and attentive to our table. I have allergies and dietary restrictions and she went above and beyond to make some accommodations for my needs. She also took time to ensure my food was enjoyable and safe. Her thoughtful recommendations were very kind and made the experience that much more memorable. Thanks again Christina!
Had a delicious lunch here with exceptional and friendly service from Farrah. 10/10 would recommend- ask for Farrah and the chicken wings. Food
Not the cheapest beer in town, but food was ok. There was a plenty of empty tables, but the attendant at the entrance told us that the only place available was at the bar, which is very weird.
Justine was amazing and walked us through the new menu options and gave us the best possible options on what we liked in the menu. Such good service
Great local spot. Staff is super friendly, especially the AGM, Eduardo!
Love Jacks! Always love to come in on Fridays to see Nat & Cody 10/10

Had a great time celebrating a friends birthday. Our server name was Nat, she was beyond amazing. She made some great suggestions for food and drinks. Thank you Nat for all the help. Food
We came here for my brother in laws birthday and had the pleasure of having both Josh and Maj working as our servers. They were great, always on top of things and amazing service overall. Will definitely come back to this location!
Celebrated my birthday here! Josh was incredibly nice, attentive, and so sweet to our party of 8. Had a great time!
There are four people total at the bar and bartender has pretty much ignored me but has paid most of his attention with two girls sitting across from me. He then pulled someone else in to join in the conversation and the two of them gave their attention to the two girls. I was never asked how my food was the entire time I had my plate.
Good service and our order came out fast. Maj was our waiter and he was friendly and professional.
The bartender Kay was awesome! Super attentive, friendly, and made sure our drinks were perfect. Great service all around highly recommend grabbing a seat at the bar with him!
The service at the bar was great! The bartender Kay was very friendly and provided us with great recommendations. Will definitely be coming back!
Very good food and service :)
This place is stupid. Won t let you order more than 2 shots every 20 min.
Great location, staff and food.

Thanks Nat!
I recently visited Jack Astors Yonge and Bloor and the service was top notch. I was only going in to have a quick drink with a co worker, but ended up having wonderful tossed chicken fingers with fries as well. Kay at the bar is so friendly and attentive to every question we had and all of our needs. We ended up staying longer than expected, because the atmosphere Kay created was exactly what we needed after work. I highly recommend this Jack Astors to anyone, for anything you need. Thank you guys again for a wonderful time.
Came for a nice dinner after a long rough day. I was served by Anthony who was very friendly, and understanding. He was very efficient in how he provided a fast, attentive experience. With years of serving experience shared in conversation, Jacks Y&B you ve got a good one on your team!
I visited the yonge/bloor location with a friend and had a wonderful experience. Our server Haley was excellent and the food was top shelf. Really awesome vibe inside, we ll definitely be back soon. Thanks!
Justine was a lovely server! Had a lovely time.
Had a great time at Jack Astors. Our server, Maj, was fast, courteous and fun. He really made our visit fantastic.
The chicken goat wrap is great. I always enjoy when I get it. The service was great and Maj was great pleasant and friendly and look after everything in a timely manner will be back
Always a good time here at Jack s! Great service and amazing food. I recommend having the nachos . Our sever, Farah, was attentive and served us with a smile. Thank you so much !!
Visited this place for what was supposed to be a special celebration for my nephew s birthday, but it turned out to be the most frustrating dining experience I ve ever had. Before we even got to the main course, our waiter approached us to ask if we could settle the bill because his shift was ending. I explained that we hadn t been served the main course yet, were planning to order more drinks, and wanted cake and coffee to complete the celebration. He offered to transfer our table to another server but mentioned he would lose his tips. Feeling bad for him, I agreed to settle the bill for what we had ordered up to that point. He thanked me and assured us we could continue to order from the new server and settle with them later. After that, we waited 40 minutes with no service no drinks, no desserts, nothing. To add to the frustration, the waiter who claimed his shift was ending at 9 p.m. was still there, lingering around but never returned to our table or checked in on us. We ended up leaving without properly celebrating my nephew s birthday. Before leaving, I asked to speak with the manager to share my disappointment, but it was clear that this restaurant s service and management are far from customer-focused. Also, if the restaurant is open until midnight, why would a server s shift end at 9, and why was he still there after claiming to be done? This was hands down the worst dining experience I ve ever had. I will never return to this place again. I would strongly advise against going there if you re looking for good service or a pleasant experience. Such a disappointment!
Great atmosphere and food !
We come here as a family quite regularly and have always been very satisfied with our experience. Our most recent visit was really great. New food items on the menu, all delicious and great Christmas decorations. Service was great and so was the overall atmosphere.
Anthony was an amazing server. 10/10
Anthony was the best waiter, excellent service and made the night memorable!!
Great service, Matt was awesome!
Went for my birthday and was super happy with Matt s service! Very considerate and efficient with our requests.
Great experience. Our server Maj was awesome and got us everything we needed. Good vibe
HAD A BLAST RECONNECTING WITH WITH ME BABE . Our server lady Claudia was fun her energy was everything and Eduardo was the sprinkle on the cake. Thank you for having us :)
Very good food, very good people, and they have a great mocktail menu!! (P.S the poutine is HUGE) Food
Came in Sunday morning and while it wasn t as busy as I expected it was wonderful nonetheless. It was nice to see the staff joking and being really at ease with each other and the other people in the restaurant. Was sitting at the bar and Farah was amazing! The server on, Justine, was also super helpful. She brought my food and was so friendly. 10/10 for the both of them! And had a great chat with the manager on. I think his name was Jon. What an asset to the restaurant. His company is lucky to have him!
Christina was a dream!
Christina was amazing!!! She took great care of us, food and drinks were good but my favorite was her smile and hospitality!
Matt was so helpful, professional and timely. Hit the right beats on our dining experience. The service and food ending up being incredible.
Great Staff!! Very friendly
matt was an awesome server!
The food was fine, but nothing special. Cocktails were entertaining, though!
we had lunch today. The service was exceptional. Our server was a professional in every way. offering suggestions and following up to ensure our visit was memorable. Merci Christina. you made our experience fabulous
Justine was the BEST server ever! My mother and I had the best experience with her, and thoroughly enjoyed our dinner, we will be back!
Great service by Farah! Very good menu knowledge, ambiance and music! Food was delicious!!!
Had a great experience, our server Maj was extremely pleasant! Good food, will definitely come back.
Fine for bar food but cocktails are a waste of money, just sugary water with almost no alcohol even if jacked. Go for beer or non-alcoholic drinks.
I was at Jacks for dinner and had amazing service from my server Haley. She was very kind, friendly and served us immediately after sitting down. I had the chicken fingers and they were delicious! Will definitely be coming back!
Josh and Nat made our night ! Both of them were extremely friendly and provided amazing service. This is the best experience I ve ever had at a Jack Astors. I highly recommend this location as the staff prioritizes your comfort and time.
Listen! What people don t get is how much the Jack s backed potato slaps. Slaps almost as hard as the beer and cheddar soup. So where did that go?!? Was in the neighbourhood and Jacks Yonge and Bloor has always been a special place Andy was a great server/bartender SUPER FRIENDLY and that GM Andrea Carter is always so welcoming!
JUSTINE was amazing. She was friendly and knew the menu and helped us make right choices to enjoy our time here. Highly recommended asking for her when you dine here.
Justine is amazing!!!!!! Very menu informed, friendly, funny!
Anthony was amazing.

I am compelled to share my alarming experience, which I can only describe as one of the worst establishments in Toronto. My visit, initially meant to be an enjoyable evening, quickly devolved into a troubling confrontation that raised serious questions about their customer service and ethical standards. Upon trying to settle my bill, I was confronted by a male staff member who insisted that I could only pay in cash. Bewildered, I explained that I only had my debit card. This is where the situation escalated unreasonably. The staff member claimed that the bartender had explicitly informed me upon entry that the bar only accepted cash, a statement that was patently false. No such information was conveyed to me by any staff member during my visit. When I insisted that no one had informed me of this policy, the staff member resorted to calling me a liar. At this juncture, my concern shifted from the monetary issue to the principles of honesty and accountability. I made it clear that I could easily pay in cash if given proper notice, but he refused to acknowledge the lack of communication. As I noted the presence of surveillance cameras, I informed him that the footage would corroborate my account. Ultimately, security intervened, and I was relieved of the obligation to pay the bill. However, the situation did not end there. The manager, Andrea Carter, attempted to de-escalate the matter but ultimately refused to offer any form of compensation for the embarrassment I endured. In light of this distressing experience, I have consulted with legal counsel and will be pursuing civil legal action against them for emotional distress caused by their staffs unprofessional conduct. Going forward I will urge my friends and family members to think twice before visiting this Jack Astors location, as the lack of transparency and respect for customers is unacceptable.
Christina was our bar/server and she was awesome! We will be back!
I had a wonderful experience at Jacks today and I am glad I stopped in for lunch. To start, the staff are all so friendly, helpful and communicative. The food is always good, definitely try the chicken fingers if you haven t yet - hands down the best you can buy! Our lovely and sweet server Haley let us know that the payment systems were down and she had to hand write our receipts and manually process our card. I really appreciated that she notified us right away so we made sure to leave some extra time before we had to pay. I watched her take care of 4 tables in a row with speed and grace. Talk about staying calm in a storm! Great service, great food, great experience. Will be back!
I never ate there yesterday but the Coronas were nice and frosty.
Tina was very kind and Amazing!! I recommend this place Food
this was actually 1st time we sat inside when visiting this location, as in the spring n summer their patio is a great people watching spot. Our go to is usually the CLASSIC chicken fingers but yesterday we decided to try their new poutine appi. We decided on the loaded, but in all honesty we would probably go with their CLASSIC next time. Lets just say that had we not already ordered our main, we would probably have split something lighter as the poutine it is almost a meal to itself
I came in this past Tuesday around 9PM and had an incredible time. It s an interesting dynamic because it seemed like all their systems were down, and everyone had to do a lot of extra work on their hands. Sat by the bar and watched the bartender writing every order down, making every drink, and being very attentive while still sharing time to crack some jokes. Everyone in restaurant seemed to work extra hard, and the food still came out fast and was delicious. The manager stopped and had a chat, and the bar seemed to have a lot of regulars that were all very friendly. Overall seemed like everyone was having a great time, feel bad for the employees, but happy everyone was in a good mood!
I attended the Toronto (Yonge & Bloor) Jack Astors location on Tuesday, October 8, 2024. I have been to many Jack Astors locations in the GTA and all the locations in Toronto. The Yonge & Bloor location I have been to before, but the experience I had on Tuesday was extremely disappointing and I want an explanation from the owner why this occurred. A little after 4pm, I showed up to the restaurant. No staff was at the front entrance, so I seated myself at the bar. While at the bar, I waited a few minutes. Then a gentleman in a hoodie approached me and asked if I have been served as yet to which I replied no. He apologized for it, began my drink order, and served me my beverage. Minutes go by and nobody checks in with me, I wasnt presented with a menu, or asked if I will be ordering any food. I eventually stopped one female employee who was occupied at the bar and asked her when she has a moment if I can place a food order. She said okay and walked away continuing doing what she was doing. Minutes go by and I stopped a male employee working at the bar and asked him if I can place a food order to which he promptly started working on that for me. I got served my Nachos. No plates or napkins were served to me to which I had to request from him to provide. No check-ins were provided by employees to see how I am doing or enjoying the food. The female employee who I did initially ask when she has a moment, can I place a food order returned and was doing some work in front of me. I asked her if I can ask her a question to which she replied sure. I asked her any particular reason why you forget to take my food order? She began to give a reason something about the shift she is on, but I replied back that she could have communicated with her co-worker to take my order instead of me chasing him down for food because I was hungry. She apologized and the male co-worker hearing the conversation began to do check-ins with me and served me another beverage. I later asked for the bill once I was done and left the restaurant unhappy with my experience. There were moments when I felt like leaving the restaurant, but I said I came all this way let me stay and was craving your Nachos. I do not know if the staff was new, they were disorganized, or this is the new standard at Jack Astors, but I was extremely disappointed and this was the worse experience ever at Jack Astors. Please have a manager contact me. I am sure the surveillance system can corroborate my story.
I recently visited Jack Astor s and, unfortunately, the experience didn t live up to their usual standards. When we arrived, the restaurant s computers were down, and it seemed to affect the entire operation. We waited a long time for our food, and when it finally arrived, the fries were cold. When I politely asked for condiments for my burger, the server s response was dismissive, as though I was being a nuisance. To make matters worse, the burger came with a tiny top bun that made it awkward to eat, and it only highlighted the issues with the food even more. While Jack Astor s is generally a reliable choice for casual dining, it was clear that this location struggled to maintain service quality when the technology failed. Even getting our receipt took around 30 minutes, despite the restaurant being less than half full. I hope the management takes steps to ensure that service doesn t come to a halt just because of technical difficulties.
Walked in, tons of open tables but their system was down so couldn t seat us anywhere but at the bar ..service is going downhill here, not going back.
Cam was such a good server. The food was amazing and the service was so fast. Great restaurant and Cam was a great and funny server.
Anthony was a great host & very friendly.
Anthony was an awesome server! Great energy & service!
I love the service i get from Justine- her humour and service is probably the only reason I come to Jack Astors
This Jack Astor s is one of the best I ve visited while in the city! The staff are amazing and the food does not disappoint! Our server Andy was absolutely awesome and super sweet!! We had the manager come greet us aswell! She was super great as well! Would 100% recommend eating here / great spot to grab a bevy or two!! Hope you enjoy as much as we did!!
Exceptional staff. Andrea is the best! Good pub food.
Andy was amazing and was my pleasure to be served by her.
My favorite Jack Astors location! Service is always 10/10 and the drinks are amazing. I went here the other night and Nat and Cody served my drinks. They were made perfectly and always made sure my glass was full. Can t recommend them enough
Never left here thirsty thanks to Cody & Nat! Always a great night.
I went in and sat at the bar. The staff, Cody and Nat were awesome, and after finding out my preferences, recommended the gummy bear margarita. It was the best choice ever. I still think of it. 10/10 would go back just for them and the gummy bears.
Had the most amazing experience with my family dining at you restaurant. The ambience is so warm and inviting, the food is chef kiss and your staff are amazing from the hostess, to the servers and the bartenders. Special kudos to Nat, Cody, Shiv and Josh .

Great experience. Centrally located in the heart of North downtown near financial hubs and subway stations. The staff is always attentive and the atmosphere is upbeat. Games are always on which are great for after work hangouts. Chicken fingers are always a hit. Staff are attentitive and caring. Nat and Cody are always super friendly and approachable.

Friday night in Yorkville Ave Toronto, my childhood friend & I looking for a dinner both can agree on. She s fussy, I m not. Deliema for sure until we agreed to check our jack Astor s. well!, fabulous- good menu, atmosphere, our adorable bubbly both host & Waitress/Server made our dinner the highlight. Let s include how much we enjoyed our meals, she finding the Spaghetti & chicken Parmesan, and I really enjoying the Salmon meal with couscous, squash & very nice flavoured sauce. Cheers to the chef, kitchen, as we both cleared our plates. Please visit and acknowledge this great relaxing meal experience in the busiest corner of Toronto (Bloor/Yonge). Our server Caoimhe with her gorgeous smile, bubbly personality and her incredible Irish Accent, was such a pleasure! We taught her to save for a beautiful van clef necklace-bracelet from Yorkville in her lifetime. (I don t have one but she had imitation) so we tried to start her saving fund!! Thank JA staff and the wonderful lovely Caoimhe! The whole staff is wonderful- thank you and see you all soon!
